My Master’s Menu*

An interesting question was posed last night as we sat around drinking wine and enjoying the night air: If you won the Master’s and could pick the menu for next year’s luncheon (or something like that), what would you pick?  First off, let me say that I don’t really know anything about the Master’s or [...]

Philmont Staff Video

It’s been 4 years since I worked at Philmont, and I don’t recognize a single person in this video, but it still does a great job of capturing a bit of what being on staff out there is like.  While it’s definitely a bit PR-ish, it’s a great introduction and I enjoyed reminiscing for a [...]

this struck a chord with me this morning

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we [...]

Off to a good start!

My weekend is already off to a fun start!  I picked up the kids I sit for on Fridays (mini-van, carpool line and all) and spent the afternoon coloring and throwing a football in the front yard.  Why is it still so hot out?!  I was disgusting and had to take a shower when I [...]

Why I sang

Today I sang with the choir in the funeral for a well-loved woman from our church.  I wish I could say that I knew her, or at least had met her, but I never did.  I knew her name and her husband’s name, but that was about it.  From the words that were spoken about [...]

wrong side of the (collapsing) bed

Remember that whole thing about thinking I’m a morning person?  Yeah.  Well, I just stayed up till 4 last night catching up on some British TV shows online and then slept till 11.  On the most uncomfortable bed, I might add.  Stupid slats keep falling through so the mattress is not being held up and [...]

list and ramblings

I have a few things on my to-do list today.  Nothing very exciting, but I’m a list person and it’s fun to cross things off!

find my driver’s license (It was stuck in the middle of my checkbook, of course.  And to think I’d actually planned to go to the DMV today!  Good thing I slept [...]

Today is brought to you by Sesame Street

Hello boys and girls.  Today I’m going to share some of my favorite old school Sesame Street music videos.  They just don’t make ‘em like they used to, do they?
We’ll start off with a couple of lessons in New Wave style.  First we’ll learn that you should never mention Sherman in Savannah or stand under [...]

TJ’s

Trader Joe’s in Buckhead opens next month! I’ve never found it worth the drive all the way up to Sandy Springs or down to Midtown to shop at Trader Joe’s, but maybe now that it’s less than a mile away I’ll frequent it more often.  I do wish they’d left the Disco Kroger though.  It [...]
